A correspondent of the Scientific
american, writing from Georgia
AYERS that he saw snake climb q
tree in one of the interior counties
of that state.-E.r.
And this reminds US. Not many
months SgO two enthusiastic fisher
men had squatted themselves ON the
banks of the classic SmOky-the in
terlacing branches of the Overhang-
ing trees forming a picturesque bow
er, and screening the devoted heads
of the fishermen from the fierce rays
of the setting sun. But a few feet
apart they quietly watched the fish
lines as they swayed back and forth
under the direction of the nibbling
turtles, waiting, waiting for the fish
that never came. In the midst of
their reveries there was a sound of
some heavy object falling through
the lofty branches of the trees, a
cleaving Of the air, an Ominous thud
i'm the river bank mud-when 10! and
behold a snake, good gracious, an
awful snake, lay sDrawled out before
them. In common parlance il is
called bull-snakel A boa constructor
could not have looked larger i'm the
ewes of the astOnished fishermen.
And how the reptile got to the top Of
those trees, was a very debatable
question with them. IL sprang into
life in their presence, like Minerva
from the brain Of JOve-full armed
and matured. Like the celebrated
TOpsy il seemed never to have been
"bOrned" but simply "growed."
Now here too Is a nut for the Scicnti-
fc american. We pledge our sacred
honor that although we live in
prohibition state the aforesaid fish
ermen had not resOrted to the de-
vices and crooked ways, usually as
sumed 10y fishermen in obtaining
liquid relief lt was an actual Oc-
cuTrence, and not a circumstance
seen dimly through the bottom OF a
black bottle.

JHss In Time

Nineteen years ago two compare
lively young men, Oscar Seitz and
r. H. Bishop by name, were riding
Texas ponies over the bOundless
prairies, when about four miles
southeast Of Salina their horses
hoOfs struck rather hollow sound
ing substance. On examination,
they concluded It was worth inves-
tigatiOn, and they hired II. H. Flag
to drill down, and the result was
they found a solid bed OF gypsum.

like plaster paris than anything else.
The circumstance il remembered,
but long years ago the exact location
Of this bed was forgotten by these
gentlemen. But yesterday Mr.. Fer
dinand BecOtte, who lives on a quar-
ter section about four miles south
east, came in with a fine sample Of
this same material, and told Mr..
Addison, the lumber dealer, that he

There cae be no doubt but what il Is
the same bed that the above mem

ago, and coming in just at this par
